    Christian and non-christians all around the world, in one way or the other claim one deity. (though in really sense, others worship of their own)

    We claim one origin, one bible (especially for thousands of Christian denominations) and even share the hymns of praise. But the really business of conducting services differs widely; from the day, style....

    Do you think that one God can instruct every denomination to worship Him in their own ways which often are very opposite one from another?

    Well your taught can actually not far from the truth, because humans were not born with religion they were born into it, so it can be said to be geographically inclined in the map aspect of it, but it's really based on the mind, because when you where a kid you're been inculcated with beliefs.stories and tales by moonlight but when you now an adult, you can now format all you have learned from childhood to what you think you believe is the truth,

    They are Christians in Saudi Arabia and Muslims in S.Texas, so it's based on the mental plane of existence, because religion is a mental construct of men to control the masses.

    The truth is in you and only yourself can find the truth, align your mind to that of the earth's magnetic field and watch the truth flow to you from the source energy.

    Technically, yes. We are worshipping one God, the God of Abraham. 3 of the world's major religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) revolves around this God. The difference is with the belief and we are not going to see truth probably until we die. It is sickening to realize that we are praising one God but we are killing each other. It makes me question why there is a religion. It just makes people segregated.

    The cause of all that mess is the bible. What do you expect from a book that contradicts hundreds, if not thousands, of times. The bible is not the word of God. Though I regret to find the words of him that claims to be the word of God placed in the bible, it's never been difficult for me to read them only and forget the rest of the bible.

    If all Christians read from the four gospels, they would be one as Jesus' prayer was. But they're listening to other shepherds like Paul who are misleading them.

    According to Jesus, the Israelites were not children of Abraham because if they were, they would have listened to him. But instead they listened to their religious leaders. The same mistake is repeated by Christians with their numerous sects and leader. And when it comes to islam, that's another mess.

    The God of Abraham is not the God of the man Abraham but what Abraham stood for. It was his faith in the Messiah who was to come that elevated him to the title of Father of believers. Believers in the Messiah. Jesus said that Abraham rejoiced to see his day.

    All religions understand that Abraham is very important that's why they love building their religions around him. They forget that it was his Faith in the promise of a Messiah that makes him important and they won't come to the Messiah that they may have life.

    I'm sure the bible isn't the word of God.
    If you ask about contradictions it means you're simply ignoring them when you read it or you never read it at all.

    To answer your question, Jesus is the word of God.

    Certainly not!,we have different religions and each claiming to worship the only one and true God. In the real sence Christians, buthists, Muslims among all other religions have each their own God.

    We have different ways of prayer, belief and worship, if we have one God we would be doing all these activities the same.

    Referring to the history in bible even the Jews, Egyptians and even the Philistines had all their deity to believe in.

    I am a Muslim and I come in peace. :)

    I believe that there is one God and that his most amazing creation is humans. Angels, demons, animals, planets, the solar system, even; these are all wonderful creations. But we are the most amazing because he has given us free will. What we choose to do with it is entirely up to us. He asks that we follow his words and some of us do, some of us don't. What we do or don't is between ourselves and God. Our book is the Quran and it has never been changed since the day it was written.

    I have no hate for any other religion and I don't force mine onto others. I live in a country where there are 4 major religions. We have so many public holidays that I wonder how we even get work done. Haha.

    My point is this, the entire world was once as my country is. There may come a day when someone suddenly thought, "Hey, my religion is the one and true religion and no one should practice anything else!" and perhaps another person defends his religion too hard and decides that this man is trouble and starts killing him. Man dies a martyr and then others rise in revenge. Wars have started for less. The easiest answer to this is simple: every religion preaches peace and if you and I listen hard enough and let our children and their children's children understand this, there could be less war and more public holidays. :)

    God is just a name a name given by humans to a supreme being that exists but cannot be seen by an impure heart.God is one but people of different races, status and culture have given him many names.Just like Water is in English, Eau in French and Aqua in Latin, God has been given different names.I believe that there is One God with just but only different names.
